- Money Gets the Blame Veteran- Utah Publisher Dies at Age of 89 The many friends throughout the state and the intermountain area of Samuel LePage Raddon were saddened by the news of the death of this veteran newspaper publisher of the Park Record one of the state's oldest publications He passed away Friday at the age of 89 and although he had retired from active journalistic work in 1943 his own column had continued to appear in the paper almost up until the time of his death A native of England Mr Raddon came to Utah in 1867 with his parents and had grown up with the state His life and career were intimately connected with the raining center of Park city where he went to live in 1884 after learning his profession in the early days on the Salt Lake Tribune He was Closely connected wIth the civic life of Park CIty and served a term as president of the state press association-- He was also prominent in a number of organizations including the Free and Accepted Masons the Elks club the Knights of Pythias and the Modern Woodmen of the World The Salt Lake Tribune joins the many friends of Mr Raddon in extending condolences to the bereaved family For Marital Rows Money that much maligned method of exchange has again come in for a great deal of criticism this time from married cduples the majority of whom in a recent Gallup poll blame it as the chief cause of marital bicker!rAg Making and spending methods furnish the topic for most of the arguments between husbands and wives according to the survey Wives complain against their spouses for not making enough cash and husbands charge their domestic partners with spending too much There is that misquotation from the Bible about money being "the root of evil" which in fact blames love of it and not the money itself perhaps another way of saying that human nature is at fault rather than the current rate of exchange To return to the Gallup poll the wisdom of the Bible seems to imply that if there were no money the wrangling couples would probably find something else over which to argue "Money money" wrote the great essayist Charles Lamb "how blindly has thou been worshiped and how stupidly abused"- And to these couples who find money troubles so important the advice of the poet Horace might serve "Money is a handmaiden if thou knowest how to use it" he warned "a mistress if thou knowest not" - The Public Forum Quit Business With Joe Editor Tribune: After looking wondering if all is fair in judging overparking Do the police take into consideration that people who work in town need a place to park free? Another thing those people who must work from their cars and can't get a workable truck license are in a spot Now about the slugs in the machines well what is a fellow to do buy the sidewalk in order to park for several hours? Come on people let's see if this parking condition can't be remedied Don't you see that people are honest if given a fair chance? If people work hard for money they get its a shame if several dollars must be paid out just to do their work Who should pay for this? Is the employer the one to meet this expense ?

commencing to see through the Marshall plan President Truman and his "brain trusters" are deliberately planning a postwar depression They use military force if necessary in order to make the people

expected the Marshall plan goes through it will be because of the leadership on one hand of Secretary of State Marshall and on the other of Republican Senator Arthur Vandenberg And not because of the Truman recommendation The Republicans are almost solidly against it Some Democrats are openly in opposition others are distressed over the direction in which their party is again ponted still others the president are discouraged at their inability to get anywhere Not more than a handful of house and senate Democrats are enthusiastic or even pleased This is the plain truth about the message situation as of today Thus it is of special interest to know who were the Truman advisers in preparing these several documents and whose ideas they represent According to those in best position to know it was largely the work of two young men— Mr Clark Clifford whose title is counsel to the president and Mr Leon Keyserling vice chairman of the president's economic council Mr Clifford has had a good deal of publicity in recent months He has been called the "one-ma- n brain president's trust" is said to have more influence with Mr Truman than anyone else and is constantly referred to by the leftist columnist as "able" 'clever" and "astute" On the other han4 Mr has had practically no publicity at all Yet there are those who regard him as more "able" "clever" and "astute" than Mr Clifford and attribute most of these messages iny veto cluding the message (also not approved by the majority of the cabinet) to Mr Keyserling Perhaps he is not as close personally to Mr Truman as Mr Clifford but Mr Keyserling is very close personally to Mr Clifford He is about 39 years old He came to Washing-ton originally-asecretary to Senator Robert F Wagner of New York After the New Deal was launched he went to the old A A A under Mr Henry Wallace Then he was an official of the National Housing Administration and has now been several years with the economic council He was and is an advanced and ardent New Dealer whose views are accurately reflected in these two messages When these papers said to have been the work of Maar& Clifford and Keyserling are analyzed it is not easy to escape the conclusion that the authors produce rather crude campaign speeches more easily than sound Even presidential messages from the political angle it would seem healthful for the president —and for the
